I got up at 430 this morning. Not on purpose. Emily has Breakfast With Books this am and I threw in to help. Which is why I am awake so early. Not much earlier than usual but it sounds early when I say it.
Well, besides helping Emily out and doing the usual morning chores, I did nothing out of the ordinary. I went to work and worked till almost seven. While at work I made dinner reservations for tonight in Auburn. And, next friday night at a place in Meadow Vista. I wanted to go there tonight but the place is reserved a few days out. So next Friday it is.
My workday was not exciting. It was the usual. I had appointments and in between those I prepared tax returns. It’s truly electric.
So I left before seven and raced up the hill. Want to be on time. I got home by 735 which is plenty of time to get to the restaurant by 8. Except Emily has no concept of on time and dragged her ass all over the house.
So, we were 13 minutes late and we lost our reserved table. The place was full, too. As penance they made us sit and wait for a table. We didn’t wait long, five minutes tops. Even got a booth.
This is a well thought of place. It certainly looks good. But, my old fashioned was only good. I ordered a different drink for number two and I sent that back. Third drink was ok but not great. Food was excellent. But I want great cocktails too. At least I was really wasted on the two mostly because I am so damn tired.
Nothing else to report. Got home and to off to bed.
